Angry today, after I listened to a Podcast from Sam Harris’s Making Sense series Ep.#228 today.

Why, you’re asking?

Because it is always the same - the good story we tell ourselves - that we are helping afterwards.
First we earn the money - who cares how many are suffering on the mere fact of how we’re doing so - and than we give it back to charity.

This is a flawed approach in a flawed system.

It reminds me working in the big companies, hearing the great stories of achievements - everyone pretending, selling “pro-active Software”, doing the “pro-active approach” to make anything more efficient and everything will be better for everyone.

Did I really saw this “pro activity” in IT of companies as an example?
Maybe a handful of companies they tried hard, but because of the general consensus “of making more profit = money”, anything else was more pressing than the “pro-active work”, to avoid problems in the first place.

The time to think stuff through before applying it, doesn’t take place in an “endless growth driven system”, because there is no time for it.

I refering back to the statement, I like Ricardo Semler (Semco Brazil) so much for, as he said: “If you have so much left now, that you have to give it continuously to charity, could it be, that you took to much along the way, all the time, in the first place?”

I do think our goal should be that there is no need for any charity anymore, because we already taking care of that as part of a “human (earth inhabitants) centered system” to begin with, that they are not necessary anymore.
